A few days ago one of my friends asked me that he is not able to access his task manager and if I can help him with this problem, I Googled and found this pretty good tutorial so sharing it with all the readers.
The problem is whenever you try to open Task Manager, the following error may occur:
“Task Manager has been disabled by your administrator”
Cause:
This error is caused if the DisableTaskMgr restriction is enabled.
Solution:
To enable Task Manager, try one of these methods:
Method 1
Click Start, Run and type this command exactly as given below [Just copy and paste] :
REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableTaskMgr /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
Method 2
Just copy the following code into notepad and save the file as EnableTM.reg and double click on it.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System]
“DisableTaskMgr”=dword:00000000
Method 3 (try only if u r good with registry editing)
- Click Start, Run and type Regedit.exe
- Navigate to the following branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Policies\System
- In the right-pane, delete the value named DisableTaskMgr
- Close Regedit.exe
Method 4: Using Group Policy Editor - for Windows XP Professional
- Click Start, Run, type gpedit.msc and click OK.
- Navigate to this branch:
User Configuration/Administrative Templates/System/Ctrl+Alt+Delete Options/Remove Task Manager
- Double-click the Remove Task Manager option.
- Set the policy to Not Configured.
